care to share your first guitar? what was it and why did you choose it?

My parents just bought a Yamaha (not sure of what model) just as a family toy. I dabble on it sometimes. I believe they chose because it seemed like a good guitar for the price just to play around with and experiment with because my mother and I were pondering learning guitar but hadn't really decided if we were serious about it at the time. I got really excited about it for a while, but because I have the hands of a ten-year-old, chords became near impossible because I cannot for the life of me get them to stretch across the fret board properly no matter which way I hold it! Frustrating! I am told there is a way to do it so that you won't have that problem but I have been too busy to bother and don't want to pay for lessons only to find that I am one of those hopeless cases... But I am still determined to try one day because I would very much love to learn.

I'd like to say that my first guitar was given to me at the age of 6. However, I didn't start actually playing until I was 15. And then my first real guitar was a Yamaha. It got me through, but I knew that eventually I wanted something greater. Now I have my lucky Gibson SG.

My first guitar was a steel string Hohner acoustic which my parents bought for 16th birthday. I learned to play on it, managed to get my hands on a rubbish old guitar that someone had left in a skip, so started using that while I saved up and bought myself an epiphone gibson les paul.

my first guitar was Yamaha Classic Series 350, the strings are nylon, actually i didn't choose to buy it since it was my mom who bought these guitar for me :) before that i never attract to any instrument and never thinking about learn to play guitar or any other instrument, but since she bought me that guitar, i start to learn playing guitar till now :) thanks to my mom that today i can play guitar :P

Well.. I only got 2 guitars.. pretty sad huh? T_T I had a TGM guitar as my first guitar. It was an acoustic and I still had it with me. Its been with me since the day I started learning guitar. Some of the stings are pretty rusty and it easily get off tune. But still, it's a very memorable guitar ^_^ My uncle bought it for me as a birthday present and I started to have an interest for music because of it. I still use it even now.. Because my second guitar is an electric guitar, i use my acoustic guitar for some songs when electric guitar is unsuitable.

lucky my very first guitar i got when i was really little and it was some crapy little mark 2 and it sucks way bad and i still have it

My first guitar was an acoustic, with the f-holes, and I only paid three dollars for it, in the 60's! It didn't even have a brand name on it! But that is where I started learning to play guitar! My second guitar was a Silvertone, with a silvertone amp! That's when I started playing rock and roll! My third guitar was a Gibson SG, and by then I was playing in groups already! After that I've had all kinds of guitars, Guild, Telecasters, Jaguars, Stratocasters, Mustangs, Ibanez, Yamaha,Epiphone, Squires, Peavey! The sad part is, I didn't manage to keep all of them, I would be rich by now! I traded, sold,or lost in pawn, all of these guitars, and one burned in a fire!

I had my first guitar when I was in 2nd HS. It was the Lyric guitar that mom bought for me for almost 60$. Back then, I was addicted to this band, called The Moffatts and that I got obsessed to them. So I had my favorite of the brothers, and used to do what he did at that time. My mom hired an instructor for me to learn the guitar. I have some songs that I played like All Apologies from Kurt Cobain and some Beatles songs.

My first and only one so far is an Ibanez Gio that came with my guitar starter pack.
